The Hal Riddle Collection includes more than Hal's pictures, correspondence, or Hollywood memorabilia. Ever the collector, Hal Riddle gathered an impressive collection of rare and signed books, ranging from the Southern literature of Jesse Stuart and Faulkner to Hollywood memoirs of friends like Gypsy Rose Lee. Additionally, the Riddle Collection contains several boxes of screenplays nominated for various awards at the Oscars, which Riddle had the privilege of voting for as a member of the esteemed Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
